“It’s really nice to have someone around you whom you can chat and discuss with happily.” - Lee Seung Gi
“Recently, Seo Jin hyung is a little obsessed
with golf, I hope that he can reduce the number of times that he plays
golf (laughs).” - Lee Seung Gi
—How did Seo Jin-san feel when Seung Gi visited you at work?
Seo Jin: At the beginning, he said that he wasn’t coming (laughs). Anyway, I’m very thankful and happy (that he came).
—As an actor, Seo Jin is the senior, do you ask him for suggestions and stuff like this?
Seung Gi: If we are talking about acting,
then we won’t argue about it. Because these are my dramas, I’m still the
one who understands them the most. However, if it’s an opinion based on
direct observations, I will listen to them. Take for example, when I
was acting in ‘The King 2 Hearts’, in order to appear looking like a
soldier, I combed my hair especially straight. When Seo Jin-san saw it,
he said, “Your entire face looked like it’s ruined, it’s better not to
comb it this way (laughs).”. Although it’s just a trivial matter, but
it’s still important isn’t it
In order to help each other become stronger,
both of you are embarking on a new stage. Can both of you share with us
the things you’re looking forward to? When do both of you plan to get
married?
Seung Gi: Of course I feel that there will be
a day that I will eventually do this (*Yuling here: It seems like he’s
referring that it’s too early to talk about marriage now, thanks to
lsgairenint’s help here^^) but it’s too early to talk about it now.
—Seung Gi-san’s latest drama ‘The King 2 Hearts’ is going to be broadcast in Japan soon.
Seung Gi: I think that ‘The King 2 Hearts’ is
a special, new and original drama. It’s very different piece of work
from the other Korean dramas that the Japanese viewers have been
watching. Although I think that there might be people who like it and
people who don’t, but I hope that the viewers can feel that there are
still such dramas in Korea. Imagine that in the modern era, there is a
“king” who exists in the real society, the Japanese viewers should also
be able to look for similar feelings within the drama. Moreover, the
acting by the senior actors and actresses are also brilliant.
—Seung Gi has already debuted for 9 years. What is the most memorable thing for you?
Seung Gi: I often will get this question,
because there were too many memorable things, so there aren’t any that I
can think of immediately. Maybe it’s when I received the ‘Best
Newcomer’ award? Although I’m saying this, actually there are many
things which happened recently and they often surface in my mind.
Although I’m in the middle of a holiday now, because I will watch
variety shows and so I will think about the areas which I’m inadequate
in, (stuff like) do I appear like I’m very great or perhaps obviously
and what if it’s like this or like that…
Or perhaps obviously and what if it’s like
this or like that, it might be more meaningful, things like these…when
I’m resting, I look back at the past 9 years and I’ve been running
continuously….
--Having debuted in Japan for 3
months, you’ve rewritten the record for an overseas singer to perform a
live concert in Nippon Budokan.
As a senior, Seo Jin’s evaluation of Seung Gi
is “No matter what thing he does, he is very serious and works hard at
it” and furthermore, he’s very tolerant in his speech. Seung Gi as a
junior, he expressed that Seo Jin is ” I can’t feel the difference in
age, he’s an elder brother whom people feel comfortable with”, an
innocent thought like this.
Because they have been given a lot, so in return, they wish to give back.
—Both of you have a really good relationship ah.
Seo Jin: When we first knew each other, it
was because we were both from the same company. Seung Gi is really super
polite, he’s humble and understanding and he’s well-liked by people. I
felt that we could become good friends. Therefore, I wanted to give back
even more. Anyway, once we start drinking, we will become good friends
very quickly (laughs). Furthermore, we had also travelled overseas
together. It should be, as compared to friendship, it’s probably already
feels more like the presence of a family member.
Seung Gi: When I first saw Seo Jin-san, it
was the night before Christmas on a particular year. I was quite free on
that day, I felt that I would look quite pathetic if I were to have
nothing to do at home. The company president invited me saying this,
“Now I’m drinking red wine with Seo Jin-san, would you like to join
us?”. Although I wasn’t acquainted with Seo Jin-san, I still went for
it. It was my first time meeting (Seo Jin) at that time, however in the
following year, the night before Christmas, we were also together. I
always feel we will often spend Christmases together in the future.
—Spending Christmas together with a good relationship
Seung Gi: This year’s Christmas…
